Since analyzing Nine Inch Nail's "Terrible Lie" on the channel, I have been increasingly craving more Trent Reznor on this channel. I find his vocal stylization and composition absolutely intriguing, not to mention the one live performance I witnessed. So, we gotta do it again. And again. What other Nine Inch Nails performances should I be analyzing?!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Nine Inch Nails perform "Something I Can Never Have" for the first time.

@@mikehansen5356Agreed. People connect with how Cash's history recontextualizes the lyrics, but the NIN version is more interesting and complex musically and still quite good in terms of performance and emotional resonance. And that's not even getting into its role as the conclusion to the journey on The Downward Spiral.

NIN was my late wife's favourite band. We saw them many times together, including while she was pregnant with our eldest child. The day before our wedding, having been told about her illness, Trent was gracious enough to call her for a chat and to wish us well, which meant a very great deal to her. I played this song, as well as "The Day the Whole World Went Away", at her funeral. It still punches me in the gut every time I hear it, but I still love it. Makes me feel close to her again.

The mud was an accident, but a fortuitous one. Woodstock '94 is mostly famous, I think, for the terrible weather turning everything to mud. The live bassist for NIN pushed Trent Reznor into the mud right before they went on stage. This escalated and bassist, keyboardist, and drummer all ended up in the mud as well.

Not actually an accident. Kate van Buren, the wife of the late James Woolsey, who toured with NIN as their keyboardist during that era, has been uploading a ton of the home video footage he recorded to her KZfaq channel, including a bunch of Woodstock 94 behind the scenes stuff. The mud was 100% planned out, when they were getting ready to go on stage Trent had their PA trying to find a mud puddle they could walk by so they could stage a scuffle in it. Their whole plan was to upstage Metallica and show off what they were doing as the new cutting edge of aggressive rock/metal music, and it worked.

Bowie is wonderful doing Bowie of course, but he sounds like a visitor in a foreign country to me trying to do NIN. Depends on what we think makes a good singer. Is it self-expression, innovation, conventional melody or defying expectations. What do you like? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

@Chet_Thornbushel 12 күн бұрын

One of the most commendable things about Reznor and NIN is the journey they’ve been on. To compare this raw, passionate performance from these young men to seeing them live today….they are equally as powerful, artistic, and true. He has not lost any of his spark(clearly when you see what he has achieved lately) and finds a way to stay connected to these songs which he wrote a lifetime ago. There is no going through the motions or phoning it in. With all that said- check out some of their more recent live performances, I think you’d enjoy the comparison.

@SuzakuX 12 күн бұрын

He never rests on his laurels and is always experimenting with new sounds and vibes. That extends to their live shows too, he's always thinking of interesting new ways to arrange and perform the music in live settings, and pushing the tech for what can be achieved visually as well. There's a great two part doc about the behind the scenes on the Tension Tour. It's really incredible how much work goes into everything.

@frbyrd-tg5co 10 күн бұрын

The fact that through his iconoclastic work, he also pursues and records with preceding legends like Gary Numan and Peter Murphy just goes to show he is aware of his place and importance in carrying on a legacy of industrial electronica which pushes envelopes and pulls in new listeners. His studio work of re-imagining Bella Lugosi's Dead with Murphy, himself, is mind-blowing.

Elizabeth this was yet another good choice. I have seen Trent talk about being inspired by Jim Morrison's live performances (i.e. Celebration of the Lizard, The End, The Changeling, and many others.), especially Live@TheHollywoodBowl. Jim would weave/vamp improvised poems & lyrics in his Lizard King persona, like a trance; while in real time the band would improvise the background music to capture the Jim's emotions, body language, facial expressions in sync with his vamped lyrics/poems. Trent is also influenced by Rush's epic multi-section songs. Thank you for your effort, experience, and enthusiasm. 🤘😎🤘

I feel that way about most NIN songs. They do a remarkably good job of capturing a song's sound live, and this being a vocal analysis channel there's definitely a reason to prefer live performances, but still, the production on the albums is always so immaculate. Where things are placed in the mix, how some things overpower everything else and then fade into the background, things moving around the stereo field, whatever dark arts he uses to make instruments sound like each other so you can't even tell what you're hearing, the vocal effects, the often strange but amazing harmonies he gets by layering his voice. They sound great on live recordings, and I'm sure it's phenomenal to be in the crowd, but there's only so much you can do live, and there's only a few songs I've heard where I'd say the live version is as good or better than the album one.

Thank you for bringing back those memories (really!) because remembering through that music how I felt then grounds me today and gives me much strenght. This is why I gladly support your patreon ❤ Also just to add something about the performance: Having a minor degree in theatre studies: It is just flabbergasting to see them beeing able to do that performance in front of that huge crowd, as I know that that not many could do that so convincingly in front of all those people.

Reznor's performance even in this forum pulls me in so deep I forget this is a analysis video. Each time you stop to analyze the performance I'm a bit jarred being pulled out of his performance. This song and the album is ugly, dirty, raw, full of hurt and filled with so much pain. It's also incredibly beautiful. This song and the album are wonderful and beautiful works of art. If his performance doesn't make you heart ache and bring tears to your eyes then I'd guess you've never been in the place he was when he wrote this. The fact he can bring back the depth of his pain in a live performance is brilliant. I have to believe each performance of his works is emotionally and physically exhausting.

I was at that Woodstock performance at the heady age of 14. (My friend's hippie parents took us and pretended to be my parents when asked about allowing the 'minors' into the show.) Listening to this again after so many years, is still both haunting and soothing. 'I still recall the smell of the mud; An intriguing mix of scents just like angst, booze, and blood.' 🤘💀🤘

You should check out his live intimate version on this song called “Something I can never have (Still) “ it’s just him and the piano and his guitar player. If you really wanna hear the pain on this song and Trent true power vocals, you need to check that out.

You just encapsulated what I wish I had the words for when I was 15 and listening to NIN albums on repeat. I found life hard as a kid/young man and this was the soundtrack, sadly most people I knew dismissed it as noise. It's great that Trent has vindicated himself to the ears of the masses with the scope and depth of his work. Watched the channel since the first few videos, your journey is satisfying and inspiring.

Wow, Elizabeth! This was probably the best song reaction I’ve ever seen. Soooo few people even begin to process all the depth and detail, the manifold creativity, that goes into a NIN expression (song). That’s the thing that most people miss is that these songs aren’t intended to be songs, in the traditional sense, and that’s why people who measure them by those standards miss the genius. The NIN masterpieces are expressions of VERY specific emotions, and he pours every ounce of his creativity into capturing and communicating that emotion with full nuance and a depth that satisfies those who have been unfortunate enough to have been struck in that particular way. It’s not just rage. Or, betrayal. Or seduction. It’s situational. The songs are tweaked in such a way that they don’t remind you of every heartbreak you’ve ever had. They remind you of that ONE person that really kicked your heart in the balls. Ha. And, he digs and digs until it’s all carved out and left there in a big messy pile on the floor. And, strangely, you sometimes feel better. Ha. Of course, you can also OD on his music. Especially teenagers. It can paint a very bleak portrait for people who haven’t experienced enough of life for themselves. And, I think from the beginning, he understood that there are limits to what traditional composition techniques and instrumentation could convey, and that the talent of the past had utilized those tools to the full extent already. In order to push deeper, he needed to discover brand new sounds and techniques, and nothing was off the table. He was one of the original mic-droppers, only he didn’t do it as a flex. He did it as a way of saying, “I gave it my all. I have nothing left.” He would often drop the mic at the end of a particularly intense song, it would just fall out of his hand as he walked away, spent. So, he really did move music forward in some impressive ways, although most people never really got it. Furthermore, competing with him was kind of off the table for most musicians, due to their own artistic limits. Thus, he was one of the rare artists that essentially created his own genre, and subsequently also shut it down, once he got tired of delving into those various darknesses. It’s rare for someone to do something so well initially, that none of the would-be copycats could gain enough traction to even get noticed. He was grouped with “industrial” artists, because they also used alternative noises to construct songs, but anyone who loved the other industrial bands could easily see that he wasn’t just playing with the cool new toys, but that there was a higher artistic visionary at work. There is a scream in the song “Wish” on the Broken album, that I’ll just never get over. It just makes every other attempt at capturing that level of despair look like cheap community theatre. It’s not something that Dimash or Freddy Mercury could ever pull off, even though they are far superior singers by the normal metrics. Ha. So, yeah, thanks for this. It’s just cool to see someone as knowledgeable and as experienced as you getting hypnotized by the same things that blew the roof off my understanding of what music could be over 3 decades ago. Speaking of Freddy, NIN does a cover of Queen’s “Get Down, Make Love.” My GF and I requested that one at our prom. lol. It got cancelled about a minute in. Anyone who has heard it will know why😂

Industrial rock, metal, grunge- with apparently more heavy metal to come- I get the feeling the channel is becoming more narrowly focused. I know, Elizabeth, you like these styles of music- and obviously many subscribers do too. That's fine, but aren't we missing out on other kinds of music? Suggestion: "Beware My Love" by Paul McCartney and Wings from the live album "Wings Over America". Just good old fashion rock would be nice.

I was at Woodstock 94 and their entire set was one of the absolute highlights of the weekend. It was so eerie in the crowd, because the body heat from the crowd mixed with the humidity created a fog around the stage area, which made this performance more haunting. Also, their instruments were damaged by more things than the mud that night. Great analysis as always!!

@rockon2963 10 сағат бұрын

I WAS THERE! 🤘 I am about 100 ft from the stage almost straight in front of Trent. I have seen 100's of shows, The Biggest and Best around, BUT this show is etched in my mind, The most intense personal performance I've ever seen Anyone do. It may not show on video, but as the wet mud dried from the heat of the stage lights, it started to dry and turn to dust and fall of them, combined with a slight breeze or maybe some stage fans, it was like they were disintegrating the whole set! It was mind blowing visually to see as well hear!

@kevinspalding3072 12 күн бұрын

The Woodstock performance was iconic because of the mud and the way NIN especially embraced the mess that festival became. Also, for Trent getting pissed at the equipment malfunctions and literally destroying it onstage. I hope you'll consider reviewing the "still" version of this song. Just piano and acoustic guitar. It's a much quieter rendition, but I think that lets the simple beauty of the song really stand out.
